    This document discusses the need to integrate mental health care into overall medical care as many diseases have both physical and psychological components. It argues that the current system treats the mind and body separately, exemplified by asking patients to cross "Stockton Boulevard" to receive different types of care, and calls for changes like removing barriers between specialties, educating medical students on whole-person care, and abolishing insurance policies that isolate mental health. The author is a psychiatrist who practiced integrating family medicine and psychiatry.

    Beyond diabetes there are psychiatric aspects of stroke, pain, substance abuse (particularly nicotine), asthma, heart disease,

    reproductive health, gastrointestinal illness, infectious disease, cancer, migraine... the list is huge. What can be done? Asking patients to cross Stockton Boulevard whenever they have a symptom or disease that affects both the mind and body will surely result in more than the occasional traffic accident. We need to move mental health out of the ghetto, reestablish good communication between mental health providers and the rest of the medical community, abolish insurance systems that isolate and stigmatize mental health care, and integrate mind health into medical school and residency programs (and I don't mean the oh-god-I-have-to-do-a-psych-rotation system currently in place). We have to reject the Cartesian fallacy that says that mind and body are separate: good medical care means treating the whole person. It's time to abandon the boulevard. Dr. Risley is the first graduate of the combined residency program in family medicine and psychiatry at UC Davis. He is a former assistant clinical professor and physician diplomat at UCD. In addition to practicing psychiatry at TCORE, he integrates family medicine and psychiatry at Sacramento Medical Oasis, Inc (www.sacmedoasis.com). He lived for seven years on Sherman Way, just across the boulevard from UCDMC.
